LUNCH & LEARN @ APCOM CONFERENCE:
Date & Time: August 11 | 11:30am – 1:30pm
Lunch & Learn – Integrated Digital Mine: AI-Driven Value Chain Optimization
Mining enterprises worldwide face escalating demands for higher productivity, tighter ESG compliance and safer working conditions—yet most still operate with fragmented data and siloed decision-making. During this Lunch & Learn, we will demonstrate how a single digital platform unites geology, planning, scheduling and production control into one continuous thread.
Through live demonstrations and global best practice case studies—from open-pit optimization in Australia to underground design automation in Asia and AI-enhanced grade control in Latin America—we reveal practical pathways to unlock Net Present Value (NPV), reduce cycle times and improve health, safety & environment (HSE) outcomes. Attendees will leave with an actionable checklist of proven techniques and lessons learned that leading mines have adopted to accelerate their digital transformation journeys.
